Rhythmic Waters

Constant flow Somewhere from upstream No loud gurgle No wild lashing at the bank The bank Not wanting to, But holding ground Comfortable silence All around You sit ashore Enjoying the harmony Your silken calves Lending a sparkle To the rhythmic waters You are lulled Lulled into believing “What bliss! Heavenly bliss!” Soaking the quiet ambience. But is this your 'Desire'? Is this what you want? Didn’t you want The torrent To sweep you away Away to………. Another world, Another land, Another life…….. But the waters continue Lapping against your ankles The lullaby continues.
